It shouldnโ€™t be this way - Canadian families deserve a government that makes life affordable and secures a better future for our kids.

Wow!

This is the period that Mark Carney was the top guy at Brookfield.

His investments show how much he believes in Canada.

Who has been in charge in Canada over the last 10 years?
Weโ€™ve had anemic growth under Trudeau, who was advised by Carney on the economy, for the last 10 years.
As our peer countries grew, got richer, we barely kept our heads above water.

The data doesnโ€™t lie.

Since 2015, Liberal economic policies have sent Canadaโ€™s economy downhill, fast.

Some very revealing graphs in this threadโ€ฆ

Timing is everything, and this Tariff War is precisely what the Federal Government needed to distract Canadians from their abysmal economic record. From Capital Flight, Falling Investment, and my personal favourite, a collapse in Productivity Growth. The data speaks for itself.

This is the first tariff that should be lifted by the Trudeau/Carney Liberal government.

Yes, our economy is being attacked by the Trump administration, but it's also being attacked from within.

Why would you trust anything Carney ever says again?

So many lost opportunities. Lost jobs. Lost investment. Lost revenue.
Hundreds of billions lost since 2015, while the national debt spirals out of control. The Liberals have left this country economically vulnerable.
We need to get serious, now. #cdnpoli

We should be the richest nation on earth. These tariffs are a wake up call that it is time for us to meet our potential. It is time for us to be a country that can trade with itself. A country that harvests its own resources, that secures its borders to protect its people.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ’ฃ Canada is Objectively Broken

Quality of Living Index:
2013: 5th Worldwide
2024: 33rd Worldwide

We pay nearly 50% in taxes, yet face a crumbling healthcare system and a massive housing bubble, created by those we pay taxes to.

Wake up, Canada.

The West East Charitable Fund supports vulnerable Ukrainians by delivering critical aid packages to the frontline. Roustam has made 150+ round trips of 3000km. Like driving from Ottawa to Halifax and back, every week - but in a war zone. A fund is set up to support his efforts.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
